Troubleshooting
11.1
What to do in case of failure?
After switching the safety sensor on, the display elements (see chapter 3.4 "Display elements") assist in
checking the correct functionality and in faultfinding.
In case of failure, you can determine the fault from the LED displays or read a message from the 7-seg-
ment display. With the error message you can determine the cause of the error and initiate measures to
rectify it.
NOTICE
If the safety sensor responds with an error display, you will often be able to eliminate the
cause yourself!
Ä
Switch off the machine and leave it switched off.
Ä
Analyze and eliminate the cause of the fault using the following table.

If you are unable to rectify the fault, contact the Leuze electronic branch responsible for you
or call the Leuze electronic customer service (see chapter 13 "Service and support").
